Passé composé

The Passé composé can be a tricky verb tense until you get used to it. It is usually taught near the end of French 1 or in French 2 and learning it makes learning all the other tenses that much easier.

There are a few websites with great tutorials on the passé composé and the ability to practice using it. See below for links to some of those sites.

About.com - the French moderator here is very good. The site is full of ads, however, which is sometimes confusing.
